Google starts equipping Street View cars with air pollution sensors

Google Street View cars have been patrolling for years now, providing all kinds of information about the world we live in (and creeping us out when we search for our own homes). Recently, Google partnered with Aclima , a company that develops mobile sensor networks, to equip their cars with the ability to collect air pollution data . The sensors can gather data related to common pollutants, including carbon dioxide, carbon monixide, nitrogen dioxide, black carbon, nitric oxide, methane, particulate matter, and more.
